Useful for:
"Not Lough, High - 30000cR
Earn a score of 250,000 in any mission in the Reach Campaign."
Want the elusive Unfrigginbelievable medal in campaign? Want to get it solo, on Legendary? Not only will I show you how, but I'll also show off some fun clips from my own run as well as a couple of other relevant clips.
In my run, with 10 skulls active* scored Seven Million, Seven Hundred and Seventy-one Thousand, Four Hundred and Fifteen Points (7,771,415).
That is, as far as I know, the highest score that has been achieved in Halo: Reach campaign so far. With this technique, there is no limit. I only stopped because A: I was getting tired of sitting there! and B: I wanted to try and get 7,777,777 points (seven 7s!) Unfortunately I missed that but about 6 thousand, but its still a massive score.
Since the score is unlimited, the only possible improvement to this would be do do it with more skulls on (i.e. so it's harder in difficulty).
What can you use this for besides getting some bad-ass score and spree? Well, occasionally there are Daily Challenges which require you to get above a certain score. Now, no matter how high that target is, you'll be able to get it with this technique.
Q: What did I need the Tilt Skull for?
A: The grenade/concussion stack! Ordinarily, a single grenade blast that close to you will completely strip your shields and 1/3 of your health. With Tilt, as you can see, it doesn't even take off your shields, which means you can survive the further damage from the concussion rifle blasts.
Q: Does it need to be on Legendary?
A: Nope. But you'll have less places to get ammo for the Concussion Rifle. Thats it. And you won't have your medal on Legendary. Which is surely the coolest difficulty to get it on right?
Q: How many Credits do you get!?
A: Basically none. You'll only get a couple of hundred from Game Complete in campaign custom games, and if you've got say... your vehicle commendations over silver, you'll get none from that.
Do NOT do this for credits.
*The Skulls I had on where: Tough Luck, Catch, Cloud, Famine, Thunderstorm, Tilt, Mythic, Cowbell, Grunt Birthday Party and IWHBYD.

@MasterRC i didn't say you don't know, i was saying it is easier doing it on that level and it doesn't take 3 hours!

@KINGOFAERODRONE Lol, it doesn't take 3 hours to get 250k points this way! I did it in under 20 minutes when the challenge was up.
In this video I got 7.7 MILLION points - thats why it took a while.
